Chesham Museum

Schools and community groups

Bringing Chesham’s past to life

What we offer

We help teachers, students, home-schooled children and community groups discover how Chesham fits into the jigsaw of local, national and international history.  We bring Chesham’s past to life with our object boxes, dressing up outfits,  workshops,  resources, walks  and  bespoke projects.

We are passionate about  encouraging students to think about who has walked around  their streets, what they  looked like, thought and saw.

At Chesham Museum we have volunteer  teachers with  decades of experience in education to help bring history alive in the classroom so it is easier for you to deliver the National  Curriculum with confidence.

We also offer bespoke walks and projects – price dependent on scale of the request.

Cost of workshops £60

Feedback from schools we’ve worked with

I would like to say again a massive thank you for all your hard work with the power points and the project – they are amazing and the children loved learning about the railways in Chesham; they found it extremely interesting. They also enjoyed exploring the artefacts and had so much fun. We are very grateful for all your hard work and help.
